Has anyone found a good tire for this bike?

@DaveZee01 11 ай бұрын

I've fitted Michelin Sirac's - with the rear being a 120 vs the stock 110. I've done over 6000 miles on them so far but bought an extra set when they were on a special (here in South Africa)

I got this motorcycle here in Philippines 2017. No complaint at all as of this writting. Yes, tire is a little tricky to find. I able to test my top speed at 120kph. I dont do off road so everything is still stock on it. How I wish they could come up with a 250 or 300cc of this model for a little more juice when over taking in the high way. One thing I really loved about it is the seat. I could be on it for 4hours straight without feeling pain in the butt. I would keep mine til it retires. At the moment my odo reading is in 60k

All great mods! Glad to see that you enjoy this bike despite having/had bigger adventure bikes, like me. If your new USA model is mechanically identical to my 2015 model, here in South Africa, then I can highly recommend the fitment of a one tooth smaller front sprocket, which I believe is equivalent to a 2/3 teeth larger rear sprocket. The shorter gearing keeps the bike in its torque band, while surprisingly not affecting its top speed of 70mph (speedo reading on a level road)

Those little Hondas take you back to old school fun and are deadly reliable. Good and useful mods and smart to not mod the engine unless you want to go toe to toe with those legendary Honda engineers! One thing I found useful on small bikes is a Trail Tech temperature gauge so you can avoid overheating your bike. I have one on my CRF250L that is water cooled and I think they make them for air cooled also. Simple installation and they run forever on a watch battery. Mine still has the factory battery going strong after six years. Nice video, Hoss!

@mikem9953 5 ай бұрын

I have the cylinder head temp one, that’s basically a washer with a wire soldered to it that goes under your spark plug. To me it doesn’t matter how ‘exact’ it is, within the first few trips on my Honda Monkey I could see new high temps, maxed temps on hot days and from then on out I didn’t have to worry if I was pushing it to hard, because when it got to X degrees I knew that was the point that I better back off a bit, yet prior I feel comfortable hammering on it! Cheap, easy and going strong after 3 years.

@billwiley7216 6 ай бұрын

These are very sensible mods that actually improve the bikes functionality for its rider. So many videos the mods are about spending money on exhaust and other mods trying to get more power and do nothing but increase the noise pollution out of a small motor that was not designed for higher power levels and if you need more power you should have bought a more powerful bike. This bike can make an excellent around town/rural roads commuter and exploring easier off road areas at a sane pace as again the suspension is not designed for high speed off road types of loads. Good video!

I have this bike in here in the Philipines for over a year now and it's a great bike. Even used it as a daily driver. Way comfy seat than the CRF or any other typical street legal dirt bikes. I have the same exact mods as well plus some front fork covers and even a modded BMW windshield. As for the tires, you can change it to 18/21 rims and put some full off road tires on it, it'll boost the bike's ground clearance, though you'd have to adjust your engine/rear sprocket to compensate for the changes. If you'd stay with the stock 17/19 config, the stock tires (I think that's CST) are overall great. Other good tire options are Shinko or Dunlop ( kinda hard to find 19'' dunlop tires tho ).

We used to change sprockets in order to climb banks in the 80s. A cheap way to change the bike's low end but it also took away from the top end too. If someone needs top end for the street, I'm assuming a larger front sprocket and/or smaller rear could slow take off but possibly hit that 70mph consistently. Just a thought since there's no ecu on the bike.

This little thing is the true adventure bike. Everything super cheap, super lightweight if you drop it somewhere, easily repairable and insane fuel mileage. Were very popular in Brazil from 2003 as a 125cc, upgraded to 150cc at some point and now it's a 160cc. The 160cc engine is a bit fragile compared to the old and good 125/150, dropped by the ESG shitty laws. And now, Honda is crazy. The 160 Bros has an insane price tag for what it is, at about 4500USD (direct BRL x USD conversion) on retails.

I just wasted money on two sets of those hand guards. The first time was my bad trying to test fit the fitting that go into the bar where I put the adapter on and slightly tightened the screw but, was unable to separate those parts. I ended up buying a 2nd pair just for those two parts. After I got the end part in the part that goes to the inside of the handlebars would not fit the taper or ben of the bar. If I look at yours in the video they have a slight bend in the bracket whereas my bracket is completely straight. Even the picture of the one in the link shows the straight bracket I got. Where did you get the slightly bent bracket? P.S. also wasted money on grips that I had to replace after cutting the ends off for the guards that don't fit.
